The Future Will Be Hacked

Taylor Holmes — Tue, 20 Oct 2026 22:22:00 +0000

The Future Will Be Hacked - There has been so much political grist for the networks and the news world lately about hacked celebrity accounts that I wonder what sort of pretensions we are all operating under here. Wait. While we are at the beginning, I think I should rename this post from "The Future Will Be Hacked" to "The Future Was Hacked Already" or better yet, "You Already Lost All Your Junk, You Just Don't Know It Yet."

Widow’s Bay Show Ending Explained In Detail

Taylor Holmes — Sat, 17 Oct 2026 14:34:43 +0000

I’m going to say this up front because I don’t say it often. Widow’s Bay was fun, it was genuinely funny, and it was thrilling in a way that snuck up on me, because I went in expecting a straightforward thriller of a TV show and instead, I got something a lot weirder and a lot more alive than that. I can completely see why this thing is getting as hyped as it is. Widow’s Bay doesn’t look or feel […]

The Beast Is a COD Mission With Samuel Jackson Welded Into It

Taylor Holmes — Thu, 15 Oct 2026 12:09:59 +0000

This was our Guy Movie Night pick for October, and I want to be upfront that it was picked in a month that also had Digger and The Social Reckoning on the table. One of those is a genuinely ambitious, extraordinarily overstuffed meditation on catharsis and climate guilt that happened to flop spectacularly at the box office. The other is a gorgeously written, five years too late lecture about an algorithm we already understood. And then there’s The Beast, which […]

The Social Reckoning Is Perfectly Written and Perfectly Late

Taylor Holmes — Mon, 12 Oct 2026 04:14:14 +0000

I need to tell you up front that I am an enormous, unapologetic Aaron Sorkin fan. I’ve watched West Wing beginning to end three or four times. Moneyball is magic. Molly’s Game is criminally underrated. Chicago 7 is just brilliantly written, start to finish. And The Social Network, the first one, is about as close to a perfect movie as exists. Screenplay, acting, score, all of it. So when I tell you that The Social Reckoning did not work for […]

The Tom Cruise Movie Digger Unpacked Dissected and Explained

Taylor Holmes — Tue, 06 Oct 2026 04:52:06 +0000

I need to be honest about where I started with this one. I generally despise Tom Cruise movies. Not just find them forgettable, actually despise them. Vapid, shallow, action for the sake of action, built entirely around the one trick of watching a guy run very fast and very seriously. And that’s before you even get into the fact that I think he’s a genuinely horrible human being. Under normal circumstances I would not have gone anywhere near a movie […]

Was The Movie The Weight Historically Accurate

Taylor Holmes — Thu, 01 Oct 2026 13:33:11 +0000

Was The Movie The Weight Historically Accurate. Okay so I need to talk about The Weight because I went into it wanting a historical action movie in the vein of Lawless or The Untouchables and came out having gotten exactly that, just filtered through a completely different lense. BUT WAS IT ACCURATE? There were so many important historical details that needed to come together in order to make this plot even necessary!! But, were they on point? Secondly, was the […]

Redux Redux Might Be the Best Multiverse Movie Nobody Has Seen

Taylor Holmes — Sat, 26 Sep 2026 15:20:12 +0000

I need to lead with this. Everyone needs to be watching Redux Redux. Not “you might like this one,” not “worth a watch if you’re into the genre,” everyone. I loved absolutely everything about this movie, and I’ve been sitting here trying to figure out how to convey that without just repeating the word “loved” fifteen times, so let me try it this way instead. The closest thing I’ve seen to Redux Redux is the movie Coherence. If you’ve read […]

The Time Traveling Complications of Mike and Nick and Nick and Alice Explained

Taylor Holmes — Sun, 20 Sep 2026 15:57:08 +0000

Is this movie worth your time? I actually think the question is irrelevant, mainly because I’m guessing you’ve already seen it. I’m guessing you are here because you were hoping for a little explanation of what it is that you just watched. No? Sure, there were some funny laughs sprinkled in here. And a really really long complicated diatribe about The Gilmore Girls. But by and large, I’m guessing the reason that you are here is simply to understand what […]

Let Me Explain Why Coyote vs Acme Is Secretly a Nietzschean Essay

Taylor Holmes — Sat, 19 Sep 2026 16:01:18 +0000

Fair warning up front, this is not going to read like my normal reviews. I watched Coyote vs. Acme and something about it wouldn’t let go. So I thought about it. And I thought about it… and I decided what I was going to actually do was a full philosophical deep dive, using a Looney Tunes courtroom comedy as the on ramp into Nietzsche, of all people, and this search for meaning inside a life that keeps handing you the […]
